The window is a bit larger than necessary; a lot of space is given to show the source app of the copied item; usually not important

I rarely shell out money for any kind of software, but while there are great free alternatives (e.g. Flycut), I haven't seen anything close to the performance / usability / UI in Paste. For $10, great deal.

Hi there!
Paste was started as an UI experiment, I wanted to make a "different" UI for a desktop app that doesn't use any private API and is valid for Mac App Store. After some prototypes I decided to make a clipboard manager – the app that stores everything you've ever copied and allows you to use your copy-history anytime you need it. I think such kind of apps must be tightly integrated into the system, so Paste looks and feels as a part of the OS X with native animations and fullscreen user experience.
I have a lot of ideas to make it even better, so feel free to leave a suggestion or any other feedback!

@dglbr@stel2k I'm guessing it's probably due to sandbox requirements and the added functionality wouldn't meet App Store review requirements.
edit: Just saw this on their site "The apps in Mac App Store must be "sandboxed", it means they can't communicate with other apps so there is no way to implement the Direct Paste feature in App Store version of Paste. We have introduced an optional Helper application which makes Direct Paste work…"

Awesome! I just upgraded from iClip. I have two concerns though:
a) Can you add an option to hide the menubar icon? That is super prime real estate on my MacBook and given the keyboard shortcut, I can't imagine myself ever needing to click on it up there.
b) It's super slow! When I "Show Paste" it pauses for a good 1 second before starting the slide in animation. Is that a known limitation?

@jeffrey_rosen Thanks!
a) Already on the roadmap and will be available in next release ;)
b) Unfortunately sometimes there can be a delay on Retina Macbooks, I'll investigate this case, for now the only solution is restart you Mac :( After restarting there should not be a delay.

And where have you been all my life?? I didn't even think twice! What would make it even cuter (and also more functional!) is if you show previews of links: webpages, YouTube videos, photo URLs, etc. But hey, it's very awesome as it is 👌
